Medical simulator

Abstract

A medical simulator 10 for use in a practical training of a medical action includes a robot body 11 formed by imitating a whole body of a human being as a patient. The medical simulator 10 is configured to, when a trainee performs a simulated medical action on the robot body 11, selectively reproduce, by the robot body 11, a reaction and a motion of the patient that are expected to occur before a start of, in a middle of, and after an end of a real medical action.

1 . A medical simulator for use in a practical training of a medical action, the medical simulator comprising,
 a robot body formed by imitating a whole body of a human being as a patient,   the medical simulator being configured to, when a trainee performs a simulated medical action on the robot body, selectively reproduce, by the robot body, a reaction and a motion of the patient that are expected to occur before a start of, in a middle of, and after an end of a real medical action.   
     
     
         2 . The medical simulator according to  claim 1 , wherein the reaction and the motion that are reproduced by the robot body include a rejecting motion of flapping hands and legs of the robot body, an abnormal reaction of making the robot body convulse, and eyeball movements and pupil abnormalities of left and right eyes of the robot body. 
     
     
         3 . The medical simulator according to  claim 2 , wherein a liquid crystal display element configured to display an image of an eyeball of an eye is attached to each of the left and right eyes, and the liquid crystal display element is curved in an arc shape such that a center portion in a width direction of the eye becomes convex toward a front side. 
     
     
         4 . The medical simulator according to  claim 1 , wherein the robot body is provided with driving means configured to drive at least each of a head part, hands, and legs of the robot body, and an air cylinder is used for the driving means. 
     
     
         5 . The medical simulator according to  claim 1 , further comprising instruction means configured to instruct, from an outside of the robot body, the reaction and the motion that are reproduced by the robot body. 
     
     
         6 . The medical simulator according to  claim 1 , wherein the robot body is formed by imitating a body shape of an infant of five or six years old.
